AFCS.java doesn't handle the http redirect request

Question

Hi AFCS team,
     I just tried out the java script for external authentication. By default, when calling new AFCS.AccountManager(accountURL);, I'll get an error like the following:
"GET http://connectnow.acrobat.com/myaccount?mode=xml&accountonly=true& failed with status 302";
     Actually this url will be redirected to "https://na2.connectnow.acrobat.com/myaccount?mode=xml&accountonly=true&" for me.
     However,  the script handles the http response only when status=200, or it consider the status as error.
     So I added following code to http_get()/http_post(), everything goes well so far.
            if (responseCode == 200) {
                return connection.getInputStream();
            // handle the redirect status
            else if (responseCode == 302) {
                return http_get(connection.getHeaderField("Location"), headers);
            else {
               throw new Error();
     Is it something need to be fixed in next release?
Thanks!

Answer 1

So, the code was there a couple of releases ago, and then I took it out because I noticed that the lower level API were already processing redirections (but at this point I don't know on which case)
I'll do some more testing and if needed add the code back. Thanks for pointing it out!
